NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 26, 1908.

Application filed January 6, 1908. Serial No. 409,582.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HAROLD WILLIAM EDWIN JOSLING, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 28 Budge Row, in the city of London, England, merchant, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a modification of the shape and material of the liner and certain of the parts constituting or inclosed in the chamber formed within the liner, the

, upper passage restricting piece to which the hner is connected or which is formed with the liner itself, and the valve seated piece at foot of the chamber in a device of the kind referred to in the specification of Letters Patent No. 874,683, granted Dec. 24, 1907, to Harold l/Villiam Edwin Josling, the present applicant. I

It is found that in bottles designed to be non-refillable constructed as set forth in the said Letters Patent that while it is desirable to preserve the true and easy sliding action of the valve block to and from its seat, especially the motion of that block in recovering its position of horizontality, and accuracy of alinement or parallelism in contact between the faces contacting after any displacements of the valve arising from tilting or attempts to effect refilling-it is also desirable to render the said valve'block as lively and sensitive to the force of gravity as possible and instantly responsive to any pressure arising from attempts to introduce liquid into the chamber and therefrom to effect refilling of the bottle. In order to attain this object I have found that the said piece may be modifled in form by the removal, ordispensation with, of a certain amount of the peripheral wall of the valve block which circular wall slides parallelly with and practically in contact with the inner wall of the liner cylinder, and in order to attain the sensitiveness to movement, I remove portions of the wall around the seat contacting plane and those portions which are left to preserve the ositioning of the valve block centrally o the bore of the cylindrical liner are coned somewhat or inclined on planes which if continued would intersect at a point some distance below the valve face towards the valve seat opening. Further I modify the form of the projections from the valve block on the side opposed to the plane contact face, and at tained by recessing that opposed side. This modification consists in slo ing the sides of the rojections on planes wiich if continued mig1t meet at a point centrally of the liner 7 bore at some distance above the valve or at any rate so as to insure that the valve block rests against the contacting moving part above it on inclined knife edges or wedge contact points, instead of on plane or flat faces, as in the said prior specification, but carefully preserving the annular polished accurately meeting faces of the valve block and valve seat uninterfered with as on their accurate fit and shape depends the cut off which faces must be made true by such means as described in the specification aforesaid. In certain cases other of the parts may be correspondingly modified in form and construction for certain uses.

The accompanying drawings will serve to illustrate the nature of the invention.

Figure 1 shows the appliance for preventing the refilling operation when located properly in a bottle-neck. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the liner showing the upper and smaller end of the exit orifice. Fig. 3 shows the liner separately partly in section. Fig. 4 is an underside view of a acking capsule of cork to fit on the liner nec within a covering ring to fit over the mouth or top of the bottle neck and over said capsule. Fig. 5 is a vertical section of the arts shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is an external e evation of a portion of a bottle in an upright position with the parts illustrated by Figs. 4 and 5 in full lines and the liner and parts shown by Figs. 7 to 13 in position therein, indicated by dotted lines. Fig. 7 shows in part sectionpart external elevation-the top most slider. Fig. 8 is a plan view of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a part section-part elevation-of central perforated or second slider. Fig. 10 is a plan view of Fig. 9. Fig. 11 is an external elevation of' the valve. Fig.12 is a plan of said valve. Fig. 13 shows the closing ring carryin the valve seat. Fig. 14 is a plan view 0 the closing ring showing the annular valve seat.

a indicates the upper portion of a bottle neck. I) the cork liner or cap and 0 its cover. (Z is the liner which is cemented or otherwise suitably fixed immovably in the bottle neck and e is the annular closing ring the outer and larger diameter 1 fitting against the bottom edge 3 of the liner, while the upper face 2 of the lesser diameter of the ring 6 forms lOO the seat upon which the face 4 of the valve f takes its bearing to close the passage 5.

6 indicates the upper slider, around which liquid can flow between its edges, in the recesses 7. 8 is the lower or annular slider through the bore 9 of which liquid can flow and thence through the gates or openings left between the spurs 10.

The valve piece f (Figs. 11 and 12) has the facets 1111 formed inclined downwards and inwards towards the point 12 and the upper s urs 1313 are formed as facets whose p anes coincide with the lines 14 for the purpose of facilitating the righting of the valve face 4 upon its seat 2 with the utmost liveliness immediately upon any pressure inwards arising.

The passage through the coned constriction 15 at the outlet end of the liner chamber (1 is formed inclined or coned inwards towards the upper end or outflow so as to avoid as much as possible any interference with the clean and unbroken stream of delivery of the liquid delivered.

The liner d and the upper constricting part thereof may be made in glass, but it is generally preferable to make them of a porcelain typeof ware constituted by a cheap form of fictile material. 7 a

The valve seating block 6 consists of an annulus of the two diameters 1 and 2 the bottom edge of the liner resting on the annular ledge left between the lesser diameter 2 and the greater diameter 1 while the lesser diameter passes into the bore of the liner (1 to the extent of its thickness and the inner face of this lesser diameter when made true constitutes the true valve seat referred to on which the valve block f equally truly faced takes its seat and this annulus e at its face 1 and the bottom end of the liner d are cemented together after the moving sliders and valve f have been introduced into the liner chamber in their proper relative position.

The closing ring and seating block 6 the valve block f and the moving slider pieces 6 and 8 when made of a composition of ground glass and kaolin, or similar material pro erly prepared molded and burned produce orms of porcelain or similar fictile ware of strong material and light s ecific ravity which will be found particu arly well adapted for contained liquids of a corresponding light specific gravity.

I claim as my invention 1. A device for insertion in the neck of a bottle or for the like use, consisting of a liner fitted irremovably in operative position, guarding blocks slidable in that liner, and alternately centrally perforated and centrally blind so as to produce a tortuous channel alternately through and around the said blocks, and a valve piece and a valve-seat cooperating to prevent inwardfioW while permitting outward flow of the conserved liquid, the valve seat ring also forming the inclosing means for the sliding parts within the liner by reason of its fixture in the inner end thereof, the valve-piece, as f, being formed of a material having a specific gravity slightly greater than that of the liquid conserved by the vessel, annular in contour with face 4 made true to fit a like seat, with its edges (which contact With the liner bore) indented to permit of flow therethrough of liquid, thereby producing radiating projections, which projections are formed with facets 11, 11 inclined downwardly and inwardly, as toward an imaginary point centrally of the axial line of the valve parts, the upper spurs of this valve being formed With other facets, as 1313, whose surfaces are inclined inwardly, as towards an imaginary point 14 on the axial line of the valve parts, for the purpose of imparting a lively and accurate movement to said valve towards its closing position on its seat immediately upon any pressure arising in a direction inwards of the vessel.

2. A device for use in the neck of a bottle, or the like vessel, for the prevention of the refilling of such vessel with liquid, comprising a coned orificed liner, irremovably secured in said neck and containing guard slider-pieces as 6 and 8, a valve f and a valve seat carrying inclosing ring e affixed in the inner mouth of the liner, said valve piece provided with radiating spurs having above and below their points normally contacting with the liner bore, facets or surfaces inclining inwards.

3. An attachment for bottles comprising a liner adapted to fit the neck of the bottle and having a liquid passage therethrough, a ported valve seat fixed in the bottom of such liner, a valve member fitting within said liner and having a valve seat adapted to fit the said valve seat of the liner, the periphery of the valve member having a set of facets sloping downwardly and inwardly, and a similar set of facets sloping inwardly and upwardly, said facets serving to facilitate the seating of the valve member on the seat fixed in the liner.

4. A non-refillable attachment for bottles comprising a liner adapted to immovably fit the neck of a bottle and having a liquid passage therethrough, a ported valve seat fixed in the bottom of said liner, a valve member movable axially of the liner and having a seat to fit the seat first mentioned, and guarding blocks resting on said valve member and slidable in the liner, said blocks being alternately centrally perforated and centrally blind to form a tortuous passage for the liquid.

5. A non-refillable bottle having a shelllike liner immovably fixed Within the neck portion thereof, a ported valve seat fixed in the bottom of said liner, a valve member having a seat to fit the seat first mentioned, said valve member having peripherally spaced facets arranged in sets and sloping downwardly and inwardly and upwardly 5 and inwardly respectively, the spaces between said facets forming liquid passages at the periphery of the valve member, and guarding blocks resting on said valve member and slidable in the liner, said blocks 10 being alternately centrally perforated and] centrally blind to form a tortuous passage for the liquid.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- IIGSSGS.

HAROLD WILLIAM EDWIN JOSLING.
